Ponder ISD will be testing its safety notification system today (Friday, July 26, 2024) between 3:00 - 6:00 pm. Do not be alarmed - it is just a test. Building intercom speakers will announce the safety scenario and employees will receive multiple notifications via text, email and phone call. No action is needed. The safety of our students and staff are a priority, so testing the system is necessary. We apologize for any disruptions this may cause.
